524. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress to date in the determination of an application for a supplementary welfare allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9509/22]
View answerSupplementary Welfare Allowance is a weekly allowance paid to people who have insufficient income to meet their needs and those of their families.
The person concerned applied for a basic Supplementary Welfare Allowance with effect from 03/02/2022 and provided supporting documentation on 13/02/2022. In the assessment of her claim the Designated Officer asked the person concerned to provide further information in a letter dated 16/02/2022.
On receipt of the requested information, the person’s application will be assessed, and she will be advised of the outcome in writing.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
